April Showers

1. I started off stamping my umbrella from the Blooming with Happiness set in Basic Gray. I colored in the flowers with my Yoyo Yellow and Going Gray Stampin' Write Markers. I also stamped the little boots from my Branch Out set in Yoyo Yellow. I've totally been looking for a way to use these cute boots! To help them stand out a bit, I drew in a little shadow using my Basic Gray marker.

2. I layered some yellow flowers from my stash, ruffled them up a bit, and poked a white brad through them. I love the burst of color!

3. Then I stamped the sentiment from my Blooming with Happiness set. Perfect!

4. I carefully cut out scallops around my stamped images. It was a bit tricky, but I think it turned out okay. It kind of reminded me of clouds! Then I layered my Whisper White card stock on a Yoyo Yellow mat that I ran through my Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder for a bit of sunshine.

5. I added a cute ribbon from my stash at the bottom of my card because it needed a little something extra and mounted everything onto my Basic Black card.

I reside in Maryland with my hubby and sweet Basset Hound, Molly. As a work-a-holic School Counselor, I rarely find time to create, but crafting is in my blood! I come from a family of crafty women and have been crafting inadvertently since I was about 2 years old. Between my mom, aunt, grandma and I, we paint, sew, scrapbook, do needle crafts, make jewelry, and more! This is my little space to share my hobbies with the world!
